The RPG will be developed alongside IOI’s next James Bond game, called “Project 007,” on which it is collaborating with licence holders MGM and Eon Productions. It seems to be a logical match for the company, as it could take the popular core Hitman gameplay, develop a new plot with new areas, and cover it with a James Bond coat of paint to make a game that many people would like playing. (It might tweak its recipe even more, but a fundamental shift isn’t required.) IOI has said that the title will be its own Bond narrative, without the usage of any existing Bond actors’ likenesses; the studio has even stated that it may become another espionage trilogy. There is no set release date for the title.
